By Amena Cox (UK) I get asked quite often why I reverted and what lead me to Islam? So I thought I’d tell you all. I didn’t have a good start in life. I was abandoned in a crack house at the age of 14 months. I was there for 2 days before I was found. I was passed around the …

By Sonia Martinez (USA) I reverted to Islam 2 years ago after being raised Catholic and being an Atheist for most of my life. I started to wear hijab when I was learning about Islam. I went permanent with it after I reverted. I love hijab because I feel like I share the purest version of myself with it and only …

By Morjina (UK) I was born in Italy and in my city I was the first girl to wear hijab. It was a difficult moment for me to fit in a society where hijab is considered useless. I argued everyday with everyone about the importance of my religion. I was bullied and even isolated from the most in my city. It …

By Rochelle (Philippines) When I first wore my hijab, I did it for fashion. I thought women in hijab look better than those who didn’t wear hijab. I admit I didn’t have much knowledge about Islam, then. I became a muslim through marriage. I was born Catholic. My parents were active members of the church. My conversion was a big …

By Shahina Bint Islam ( Birmingham, UK) I’ve always known hijab to be an obligation and an Islamic duty for Muslim women.

I’ve come a long way from where I was a year ago. I used to roam this world with an empty feeling inside my heart before Islam. People always ask me what …

By Catalina (Atheist, USA) I’ve been a hijabi for about 9 months now. While I am not religious, I appreciate how I feel the hijab liberates me as a woman and allows me more control over my body and the message I want to say to the world.

By Larasati Tanjung (New York, USA) “Like it or not, you will need to wear something like these when you are older.” I was born in Depok, Indonesia.

By S. Khan (Canada) “The psychology of Islam is modesty. Your beauty is not your physical beauty – it is your soul.

By Farah Rahim ( Malaysia) I was going through a tough time in my life that I questioned Allah (SWT) about it, astagfirullah (I ask Allah for forgiveness). Trying to find the answers, I attended a parenting course by my daughter’s private Islamic preschool Dzul Iman. The Khalifah Parenting course changed how I view life on earth, 180degrees totally. I learnt …
